Future Armada: Jo Lynn

Jo Lynn is an old Clydesdale-class gunboat that has been refitted for civilian service. During the border wars of the last decade these sturdy vessels were a common sight above the battlefield, quickly moving troops, supplies, and firepower to where it was most needed. Though they perform well enough in space, this dependable workhorse was designed for atmospheric agility. The heavy thrusters allow for powerful acceleration while the rotating engine pods greatly increase maneuverability and allow for enhanced VTOL operation.

As a transport, the vessel is at the low end of progress level 6 - a bare-bones but reliable ship. She is 135ft long and operates with a standard crew of four (though there are quarters for up to 6). She may not be much to look at, but Jo Lynn has it where it counts.

Also included are the statistics, maps, and exterior renderings for the Jo Lynn while she was still a ship of war. This gunboat configuration is a solid progress level 7 and carries a standard complement of five (plus up to 35 soldiers in the auxiliary bay). While the Jo Lynn is only lightly armed, she carried a battery of missile launchers and a pair of turreted lasers during the war. She also bore some impressive armor and a whole suite of military-grade sensors and surveillance equipment. Whichever version you choose, this ship will get the job done.

Open Game License stats provided for the vessel and crew, as well as an alternate "Gunboat" configuration.

A nice little spaceship perfect to be the first home of a group of adventurers. Old, beat-up, cramped, but is home! Small and common enough to not draw attention wherever it passes, yet it has space for weapons, smuggled cargo, hidden fugitives and ad [...]

All of the Future Armada series are amazing. This particular starship, and it's obvious inspiration were the first purchase I made in the series, and were so amazing that I have since purchased everything available as soon as it comes out. I cannot rec [...]

Jo Lynn, as with the rest of the Future Armada product line, is a beautifully presented product which is such a complete role play pack that I was amazed at how much it greatly succeeds the expectations prior to purchase. The price is an obvious exampl [...]

Very detailed and colourful plans, much more than just the black & white line drawings of some other products. Each one comes with full deck layouts (for an overview) and printable 25mm sections to use for tabletop figures. Also, the deckplans are [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
